The cadet who receives this esteemed award is nominated by his drill instructor for his exemplary attitude, conduct, academic per- formance and involve- ment at MMA. In addi- tion to the recognition he received on Feb. 7, Swarthout was treated to a special dinner hosted by the MMA superinten- dent and his wife. Swarthout, a first- year cadet, plans to attend a Division I col- lege and then become a military officer or a fire- fighter. He is the son of Sophia and Colin Swarthout. Marine Military Academy is a college- preparatory boarding school for young men in grades 8-12 with an optional post-graduate year. Since 1965, MMA is the only private school in the world based on the traditions and values of U.S. Marine Corps. Located in Harlingen, Texas, MMA has been home to thousands of sons from across the world and is quarters to the historic Iwo Jima Monument.

Democrats to welcome state insurance commissioner State Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones will be the featured speaker at the Tehama County Democrats' fourth annual fundraising dinner, "Supporting American Workers," March 1 at the Red Bluff Community Center. Before being elected commis- sioner, Jones received his law and public policy degrees from Har- vard, worked as a legal aid lawyer, served in the Clinton administra- tion and was elected to the State Assembly. In the Assembly he introduced legislation that was signed into law creating the nation's largest early childhood education and preschool program. As insurance commissioner, he leads the California Department of Insurance, the largest consumer protection agency in the state. It regulates the $123 billion insurance industry. Since taking office Jones is proud of saving poli- cyholders more than $1.4 billion in premiums. Regulations that he issued require that at least 80 percent of the health insurance premium dollar go to actual health costs, not to insurer profits, marketing and overhead. Jones is supporting passage of the November statewide ballot measure, "Approval of Healthcare Insurance Rate Changes." It requires health insurance rate changes to be approved by the insurance commissioner before taking effect, with a sworn statement of accuracy of information to justify rate changes. The evening will start with a social hour at 5 p.m., and the dinner program at 6 p.m. Further details or tickets may be obtained from John Elshere at 529-1238 or Sue Gal- lagher at 384-2945. Jones Company markets coffee reminiscent of 19th century A Connecticut coffee roaster was so inspired by a legend of California that he created a very special homage to a famous land- mark that once drew thou- sands of visitors from throughout the world to Tehama County. Bob Johnson, 55, the owner of JumpinJakJava in Thomaston, Connecti- cut, was so impressed with the history in the recently-released "Images of America: Tuscan Springs," from Arcadia Publishing, that he began to wonder what coffee must have really been like in the Gilded Age. After much research, Johnson determined which coffees were imported into 19th centu- ry California — including coffees from Central and South American countries such as Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala — and hand blended the finest of the berries for the best fla- vor and feel, fire roasting them in true turn-of-the- century fashion. The only difference is 19th century roasting drums were hand turned and Johnson's roaster is automatically rotated for the most uni- form toasting. The result, which he calls the "Tuscan Springs: Memories Blend," is a silky smooth and smoky concoction that brings to life the era when railroads and automobiles were just beginning to wind their way across the country and rivers were teeming with steamboats and gleaming with gold. The tradition is there in the blend and the roast, but today's common brewing techniques -- the automatic drip available in any coffee drinker's home, for example — make the final product even better than it ever could have been in the 1800s, when most coffee was simply boiled or per- colated on a stove or campfire, according to Johnson. Coffee lovers will be able to the coffee at local presentations on the book, beginning at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 15 at the Kelly-Griggs House Museum. Free coffee will be served and vacuum- sealed bags of freshly roasted beans available for sale, along with copies of the new book. The coffee can also be purchased online at www.jumpinjakjava.com. "Images of America: Tuscan Springs" is now available through www.arcadiapublishing.c om.
